Get Alive 03:29
A hug of hair in black and white Upon the river, perched in setting light Staircase to the glassy water’s edge You toss and turn You’re dancing for nobody and for everyone I’m rolling under the tides Searching for the other lives Stuck below and inside Sinking first, to get alive Beam of the moon at night Bleached strands tussled in the warm wind bright You sing so proud upon the hill Before the cold renders a damning chill Milky ghosts forge the obscuring glow Folding heart, take it slow I’m rolling under the tides Searching for the other lives I’m stuck below and inside I’m sinking first, to get alive I’m flying over the tides I’m hiding all my other lies On the plains above and outside And I’m floating now, but I can’t arrive Do do do do-do Do do do do-do Do do do do-do Do do do do-do I’m rolling under the tides Searching for the other lives I’m stuck below and inside Sinking first, to get alive I’m flying over the tides I’m hiding all my other lies On the plains above and outside And I’m floating now, but I can’t arrive

It’s the dead of summer But I’m shivering in the cold In a shitty playground A swing set filled with mold How the hell did I end up here? This suburban castle With a broken FedEx box A permanently open door I wonder if they cringe now How the hell did I end up here? How the hell did I end up here? I dream I’m falling through the black Above a curved horizon Wearing a red helmet as I pray Everything moves slowly Up here with the stone eyes Locked in and watching me Can’t look away I wake up laying In the middle of the road By the crumbling playground I’m waiting for the rain How the hell did I end up here?

The Flood 04:49
Took us around the back We swallowed all the fat We choked on toughened meat The thickened air, the blackened heat I stumbled home alone Machete caught my throat I tried to hold my tongue Emptied my pockets one by one Every day we tumbled to the waste Dancing over gems disgraced We are in a land we can’t escape But we climb again to test our fate You walked for seven miles To put the earth in piles Planted Sonia’s mango trees Calloused your hands and scraped your knees The torrents pounded down Released the swollen ground And I prayed for clearer days But you’d surrendered to wash away In the tide your face was blue and pale As we hoisted up the sail We sent you out into the dawn Your pockets full, your fire withdrawn As you drifted far beyond the mire I could have sworn I heard you sigh Now I turn and fall back to the waste Imagining your embrace Over gems I dance, there’s no escape (Over gems I dance, there’s no escape) I climb again to meet my fate (I climb again to meet my fate) All the marching drums they cannot find (The marching drums they cannot find) The beat of your heart next to mine (The beat of your heart next to mine)

Marrow 03:14
He died on the same day I watched him fall Now he’s always a shadow He’ll keep me in tow How have I fathered These eyes all around The blood on this house I have torn to the ground One year and woe I found all the answers I thought I had Soft in the shadows Caved at the marrow Five years and ten I could have returned to that field again There to replace you The bones and the bright blue
